Alice gets Ralph to go down to see her sister and brother-in-law off on cruise to Europe. Ralph wasn't very happy about it, he doesn't like his brother-in-law anyway so this was to much to take. While on the boat he sees all the other prizes they won, this leads Ralph to the idea of buying a bunch of foods that are running contests. When comes home with a lot of groceries Alice demands he take everything back. Ralph ignores her demands and he and Ed work on entering all the contests on the packages. As luck would have it, Ralph does win one of the contests. The contest was one put on by a dog food company, he won a great Dane from the Happy Hound Dog Food Company. While trying to figure out what to do with the dog Ralph finds out that he's won a trip to Europe. There's one big catch. The contest he won was for Slimo Bread and to claim his prize he has to prove he lost 50 pounds. Ralph comes up with the idea of Ed pretending to be him. And since he needs to have a picture of himself before losing the weight Ed uses some of Ralph's clothing with padding to take a before picture. Ralph's plan falls apart and Ralph is left with the dog.
